Getting better

On foreign policy Biden is cleaning her clock, he's getting crisper and she's looking for her water wings.

If you're going to continually refer to our commander in Afghanistan it would help to know his name. His name is not McClellan. Beyond that it would help to accurately characterize his statements. Baby steps though.

Update 1:

Role of the VP, she's utterly clueless. Preside over the Senate? This isn't the 19th century. Biden defines a clear role for himself and shows command of the Constiutional question far beyond Palin.

Update 2:

We're winding down and despite Palin's flurry of soundbites, catch-phrases and winks she's been clearly out-classed. Over the long haul of 90 minutes she just can't compete.

Update 3:

Utter nonsense - you rein in government spending and you build infrastructure? Tax cuts!

Biden didn't make a single gaffe. Palin didn't implode but she comes across as completely out of her depth. Obama and Biden are starting to pull away and put this entire election out of reach and Sarah Palin didn't do anything to slow down that train tonight.

How about this gem - "When we kicked — along with France, we kicked Hezbollah out of Lebanon, I said and Barack said, “Move NATO forces in there. Fill the vacuum, because if you don’t now — if you don’t, Hezbollah will control it. Now what’s happened? Hezbollah is a legitimate part of the government in the country immediately to the north of Israel."

What?...Nobody has ever kicked Hezbollah out of Lebanon. And just when did Obama say we should move NATO forces in to Lebanon?
